THE BIBLE CAUSE,
In my last communication the importance of as'
tablishing good depositories was brought to view.
In this I wish to say a word or two respecting the
manner of establishing them. In most of the
counties in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont,
there are County Societies already organized.
These societies mip-ht pstnhlish depositories, one
or more for each county, which should be suffi
ciently furnished for the wants of the county.
From these county depositories, those established
in towns and villages might be supplied. In ma
ny towns, Young Men's, or Young Ladies' Bible
Societies might be organized, by means of which,
depositories might be established, and the destitute
supplied. But in many towns it may not be deem
ed expedient to form societies ; in such cases in
dividuals might be selected to act as agents, keep
depositories, and receive donations and contribu
tions for the Bible Cause. By adopting these dif
ferent measures the object of establishing deposi
tories might be accomplished, the community
provided with the best means of obtaining the
Scriptnres, and the Bible cause greatly promoted.
In order to do this, it will be necessary for the of
ficers of County Societies to be prompt in perform
ing the duties of their office ; and to select indi
viduals to act as agents who feel an interest in the
cause, and who will not forget their appointment
in the course of a few weeks, or months. And
may not persons be found in every town who will
bo ready to engage in this cause and who will
cheerfully assist in the accomplishment of an ob
ject so desirable ? It is presumed there may be
and it is desirable that measures should be adop
ted for the purpose of enlisting them in the good
cause. Let the subject be brought before the sev
eral County Bible Societies at their next miniver
sary, and men appointed to take the charge of de
positories, and receive donations in all our towns ;
and then let these depositories be well supplied,
and the subject presented, in a suitable manner, to
the several religious societies and congregations,
in the course of every year, and opportunities giv
en to all disposed to contribute to the cause ; and
methinks there would be no want of means to ac
complish the object desired, or to put in operation
the several plans proposed.
J. LANE,
Agt. of Am Bible Society,
Gilmanton, N. II., April 29, 1839.
From the Vermont Chronicle.
To Mr. E. C. Tracy Sir : We have observ
ed in your paper of the 10th inst. a denial of the
fact that Messrs. H. F. Leavitt and J. Blanchard
appeared before the ministerial Convention of
September last, at Vergennes, as Agents of the
Vermont Anti-Slavery Society, or of any commit
tee of the same.
Now the facts in the case, so far as we know,
are these : On the 4th of September last, at a
regular meeting of the Executive Committee of
the Vermont Anti-Slavery Society, the Rev. H. F.
Leavitt, of Vergennes, and the Rev. J. Blanchard,
of Cincinnati, Ohio, were elected Agents to pre
sent the claims which the cause ol Abolition has
upon the Christian public, to the General Conven
tion of Congregational and Presbyterian Ministers
which was then soon to be holden at Vergennes.
inese genuemen were supplied witn written cre
dentials to substantiate their agency ; and as such,
we have ever understood, the Rev. Mr. Blanchard
appeared before the Convention on the subject of
ins agency ; and as such, we supposed it was
understood by most if not all of the Convention at
the time. We had been led to this conclusion
from the report which Mr. B. subsequently made to
the committee's Secretary; and from the fact
which we are able to substantiate by proof, that
when Mr. B. arose to address the Con vention, Rev.
Mr. Converse, of Burlington, one of the Scribes,
inquired of him if he had his credentials of his agen
cy and that he was prevented presenting them
from the fact, only, that it was wholly unnecessary.
This was the avowed sentiment expressed by many
if not all the members of the Convention. Bv
this measure the Convention did virtually acknowl
dge Mr. B. an Agent of some Anti-Slavery body ;
and whether that body be the Vermont or the
American Anti-Slavery Society, was perfectly
immaterial. There is a oneness of object, and
sameness of sentiment and action, extending
ithrough the whole benevolent Anti-Slavery move
ment. As our Agent, and as an advocate for the cause
of emancipation, Rev. J. Blanchard did appear be
fore the Convention, and was allowed ten minutes
in the year 1838, to address a Convention of Con
gregational Ministers and others in Vermont, on
the claims which three millions of Americans, who
are held in the most abject bondage in one part of
our country, have upon the professed disciples of
Tf II til.. I l
mm wno aas aeciarea "inasmucn as ye nave aone
it unto one of the least of these, my brethren, ye
have done it unto me." What an act of conde
scension ! What a favor !
What influence the Agent had on the action of
,that body, is not ours to determine. It is sufficient
for us to find that an action was had. Of the
correctness of that action, the Convention, not us,
.are responsible, in the annals of time and in the
light of eternity, it will be clearly seen and under
.stood. Cordially yours, J. A. Allen,
Sec. of Ex. Com. of Vt. A. S. Society.

A Letter from Rev. John Truair;
AjyuLjA, April 17, 1S39.
Dear Brother MyricktThe author of the fol
lowing narrative is now livjng in the west part of
the town of lully, in this slate j and is a respec
table mechanic, a man, as J am told, of unques
tionable veracity. I had an interview with him
the latter part of winter, in which he related to
me the facts herein stated ; and, at my request, has
furnished them for the perusal of those who are
seeking truth in regard to the treatment of slaves.
If 'you think it will in any way serve the cause of
the oppressed and degraded slaves in oqr highly
polluted and guilty land, you can give it to the
nublic : and the friends of liberty can make what
use of it they please. I entertain no doubt of the
truth of this narrative, for the facts which it con
tains, and many others of asimilar character, were
related to me in all the simplicity of honest and
conscious truth, John TRUAin.
- NARRATIVE OF J. C. HODGE.
In the year A, D, 1836, I left Tullv for the
South, in company and in the employ of a plant
er from Alabama. We went from this directly to
me state oi uelaware, where 1 betrun to see the
operation of buying and sellinir slaves, and the
separation of families in the most unfeeling manner.
I' or this planter, and at his command. I took two
children which he had previously purchased, from
uA!u i i.v ,i . r . i
men- parents, ana tne motner s nean appeared as
t broken, lor she said bhe should never see them
again. After this he went on to Maryland, where
I saw a man sold from his wife and children.
When they went after him. he said he would ra
ther die than to leave his family ; but they
put him in chains, and took him away, leaving his
family in loud and bitter wailings, without any to
comfort or care for them. From the town of Sal
isbury in Maryland, I was sent the next morning
after this man was brought in, about fifteen miles,
after a female slave, who had a child about three
months ld: but her former mistress wanted the
child, and my employer sold her the child for for
ty dollars, and took it from her. When I went to
take the child back to the mistress, and had pas
sed about four miles from Salisbury, I met the
husband of this woman, who was going to make
an enort to fro to the south with his wile. We
had gotten a pass from his master, to see if our
planter would not buy him, that he might go with
his wife ; but he would not give his master's price
for him, so that he was obliged to go back with
his child, while his wife, and its mother, was
driven off to Alabama.
Une nisfht, while 1 was in Maryland, 1 went to
a meeting of the slaves; and while one of them
was at prayer, one of the patroles came round, and
hearing something which he did not like in the
slave's prayer, he took him out of the meeting,
and whipped him most unmercifully. I thought
within myself, if this is slavery, God in mercy
deliver me lrom it. When our planter had made
out his complement of slaves, and was ready to
start for the South, these negroes, big and little,
were put into one drove, and driven off to the
South, like a drove of swine. In the course of
my tour, I had the opportunity of seeing the era
elty of the planters in Delaware, in Maryland,
Virginia, JNorth Carolina, South Carolina, Geor
gia, Alabama, Tennessee and Kentucky. I tar
ried in Alabama seven months. I had every op
portunity during that time, to see the operations of
working and whipping on their plantations. Ihe
slaves had to go out to work in the morning at day
break, males and females together, and work till it
was dark. After they had done work at night,
each one had to cook his own provision for the
next day, and take it with him when he was cal
led out in the morning. One peck of meal, and
three and a half pounds of meat, was the allow
ance for an individual for one week, and each
might cook it at night as he liked it best.
For a failure in doing the task allotted to the
slave, and, indeed, for almost every offence, real
or imagined, the whip is used ; and I will mention
some of the different modes of whipping" which I
have seen. Sometimes they will tie the slaves to
a tree, makinsr their leet last, and bring their Hands
round the tree as far as they can reach, and hav
ing made them fast, they put on with a heavy cow-
skin without mercy, the poor creatures begging,
crying and promising, but all to no purpose.
bometimes they select a large log, and tie their
feet fast on one side, and draw them over the oth
er side, then making them fast with their back
and breach naked. They then sometimes use the
whip, and sometimes the battle, laid on to their
naked flesli without mercy. The battle or paddle,
is made out of a half inch board, with thirty holes
bored in it with a large gimblet or a small auger ;
and every time they strike with this instrument of
torture, which is generally used upon the back, it
will make a blister lor each hole which comes lair-
ly upon the flesh ; and the next stroke will break
these blisters and raise new ones, and so on; and
often, after this application, they will use the whip
till they are cut in gashes from head to foot, and
with salt and vinegar they would wash them off.
And sometimes they will tie their hands together,
and then with a rope draw them over a pole, while
with one hand they hold the rope, and put on the
whip with the other.
After they have done their work at night, and
have left the field or the cotton-house for their lodg
ings, it is not unfrequent for the overseer, or some
of his cronies, or both, to take some of the females
and stop them by the way for their own accommo
dation. Many men of my acquaintance at the
South are in the habit of buying themselves a
wife, or a house girl, as they call them ; and when
they get tired of them, they will sell them and get
another. And some will take the first one they
can come at on the plantation and use them as a
wife.
It is not unfrequent for the slaves to run away ;
and when they do, the hounds are put upon their
track, and they are often taken, brought back, and
whipped and battled in the most shocking manner.
Sometimes they have chains and clogs fastened to
them, to keep them from running away again.
Some are almost torn in pieces by the hounds;
while others are not much hurt by them. These
things I have often seen with my own eyes, and
I know them to be the truth, and nothing but the
truth. J. C. Hodge.
Union Anti-Slavery Society of Philadel
phia. This Society was formed, about a year ago,
for the express, purpose tf promoting a greater
union among the members of the different church
es and religious societies, in forwarding the Anti
Slavery cause in their respective connections.
1 hey agree to keep up the monthly concert of
prayer in each congregation, on the last Monday
evening of each month, and the general society
holds meetings once a quarter, The third Quar
terly Report is before us, in the columns of the
Pennsylvania Freeman, and details a series of
wanton persecutions on the part of the pro-slavery
ecclesiastical authorities, which affords conclusive
evidence that such an organization is deeply feared
by those who are committed in subserviency to
the "institution." The auxiliary No. 1, connect
ed with the 11th Presbyterian church, has been
assailed publicly by the pastor in a sermon (!) in
which he declared to the church, that if they elect
ed abolitiqnists into the session he would not act
with them. The president of thjs society was
generally deemed the most suitable person for an
office in the session. The auxiliary No. . connect'
eu with tne west rresbyienan churcli, nns been sn
more severely hunted ; their Dorcas Society h
been broken up, the abolitionists have been turnec
out (if the pabbath school, and o, vote passed
exclude tne exciting topic ot Uolonizatio.q an
Abolition from the church ;" in pursuance
which, an active abolitionist has-been public
suspended from the communion, and the abolition
members denounced generally, as on " thcdowuhi
road to nitidelity," ccc. Uur sympathies are
strongly drawn out in behalfof these suffering breth
ren, and we exhort them to the patient endurance
which becomes their profession, and which w
triumph in the end. Mass. Abolitionist .'
" Free and Friendly." Among the iiitellectua
enorts to wnicti Henry umy s great pro-siaveiy
speech has given rise, our attention has been cal
led to a pamphlet just published by Mahlon Day,
of INew York, entitled, " lree and rriendly lie
marks on a Speech lately delivered in the Senate
of the United States, by Henry Clay." The wri
ter's name is not given, but he declares himself
member of the Society of Friends, and not a cit
izen of this country ; from which, with the aid o
internal evidence, rumor has assigned the author
hip to a distinguished minister of that sect, from
England, who has been making the tour of the
Union, and who, though well known as a zealous
abolitionist at home, has hitherto preserved a stu
dious silence on the subject here. Had he placed
his name upon the present pamphlet it would have
gone tar to redeem his delinquency, lor he takes
high ground with regard to the inherent criminal
ity of slavery as ' opposed to the eternal rule of
right.' He also expresses a natural surprise at
the statement of Mr. Clay, that 1 negro slaves
have been deliberately and solemnly recognized as
the legitimate subjects of property by the tedera
Government itself.' And well he maybe, for cer
tainly the United States' Constitution gives no au
thority for such an allegation. He thinks the firs
object should be the abolition of slavery in the
District of Columbia and in Florida, and the in
ternal traffic. The whole is reasoned with much
clearness, in a very temperate style, and where
the author is known, will strengthen the convic
tion we have expressed, that Henry Clay's speech
will, in the end, do more to develope than to re
press the energies of the spirit of abolition.

1) omcstic
Inauguration of Washington.
The Fiftieth Anniversary of the Inauguration of Wash
ington, was celebrated by the New York Historical Socie
ty, at N. Y. City, on Tuesday, the 30lh of April. The ven
erable Ex President, John Q. Adams, having been invi
ted by the Society, pronounced the Oration. We take the
following synopsis from the N. Y. Commercial:
The Society and its guests assembled at the City Hotel,
where large numbers of citizens besides, pressed forward,
eager to pay their-respects to the venerable and exalted
stutesman who bad been so happily chosen as the orator
of the day. At 12 o clock, the company at the hotel moved
to the church in processsion. A temporary forum had been
erected in front of the pulpit, for the accommodation of the
orator, the officers of the Society, and th committee of ar
rangements, &c. P. G. Stuyvesant, Esq., President of
the Historical Society, took the chair. Among the guests
on his right were Gen. Morgan Lewis, Mr. Justice Thomp
son, of the Supreme Court of the United states, Gov. ren-
nington, of New Jersey, and others. On the left of the
chair were the venerable John Trumbull, Presidont Duer,
of Columbia College, Judge Belts, of the United States Dis
trict Court, Major General Scott, and others.
1 he exercises were commenced by a solemn and appro
priate prayer, by the Kev. Dr. Knox, in which he happily
enumerated the blessings that had followed the services and
examples of the illustrious Washington. He closed by in
voking happiness both here and hereafter, for the distin
guished orator of the day.
The following Ude, written for the occasion by Wm. G.
Bryant, Esq., was then sung to the lofty music of Old Hun
dred :
Great were the hearts, and strong the minds,
Of those who framed, in high debate, ,
The immortal league of love that binds
Our fair broad empire, state with state.
And ever hallowed be the hour,
When, as the auspicious task was done,
A nation's eift, the sword of power,
Was given to Glory's unspoiled son.
That noble race is gone; the suns
Of fifty years have risen and set;
The holy links those mighty ones
Had forged and knit, are brighter yet.
Wide as our own free race increase
Wide shall it stretch the elastio chain,
And bind, in everlasting peace,
State after state, a mighty train.
The ode having been printed and distributed generally
through the church, the whole immense congregation joined
to swell the loud anthem," producing a deep and solemn
ettect,
Then rose the venerable orator, full of years and full of
honors, who, as was happily remarked hy Dr. Knox in his
prayer, has passed his three score years and ten, but whose
eye is not dim, nor his natural force abated. Were it in
our power from recollection to make even an approach to
justice, we would attempt an analysis of the masterly dis
course which enchained the audience with almost breath
less attention, for nearly two hours. It was indeed a noble
effort of a noble mind, rich in classic lore, in its own recol
lections, and its strong and original views and mighty con.
ceptions.
Outrages in Mobile,
From one of our exchange papers, we extract the follow,
ing :
" There must be a fearful state of disorder in Mobile, if
we are allowed to judge fiom the continued wilful sacrifice
of human life, recorded in the papers. Our late slips give
accounts of three successive murders or attempts in as many
days, which evidence a callousness to the laws almost if not
quite unparalleled in civilized society. The scenes of vio
lence seem to have commenced on the day of the municipal
election, on the evening of which, one of a party who were
celebrating the triumph was shot with a pistol ball through
the side, and so wounded a) to cause his death on the follow
ing morning. On the succeeding day, Mr. John Wise, an
old and respectable inhabitant of the place, was shot hy a
Capt. Taylor, whp wag in the employ of Mr. W. as com
mander of a schooner. Ihe ball entered the eye, and stri
king a bono took a slanting direction outward, without
killing him, but fears were entertained that ho could not
recover, The third and last was on the 27th, when anoth
er individual was shot and instantly killed. The Chroni
cle, in remarking upon these frequent and appalling out
rages, comes to the ponclusion that the time has arrived
when it has become necessary to assume extra legal pow
ers, and recommends, that the lovers of order! associate un
der bond and oath,' forming a bond of moral and physical
strength and character, sufficient to bear down all opposi
tion, and enforce perfect obedience to the laws, that they
go armed to the teeth, with a determination to shoot down
on the spot whoever uses the pistols or knife. "I'is a fear
ful crisis which demands such remedy."

ton, aged 66, one of the first settlers of the town. Print

At Miss Green's Seminary, in Burlington, May 1st, Miss
Elizabeth Collamer, daughter of the Hon. Jacob Cullamer,
of Woodstock, aged 17 years.
The following tribute to the memory of the deceased, is
from the Burlington Free Press :
Some writer has beautifully remarked " A peculiar
sanctity is 6aid to linger about tne memory ol those who
descend in early life, or the flush of years to the grave; who
fall asleep upon the kind lap of earth, before the cares or
calamities of the world have weighed down the heart, or
clouded the spirit; before the ethereal freshness of being,
as been sullied by change or weakened by misfortuno.
uch sanctity such a cheerful and tranquil light, we are
sured, belonged to the earthly career of the subject of this
uarariranh. If the love of kindred, the prayers ol friends,
and the affectionate solicitude of those whose sorrows alone
make a pane in the last triumphant moment could have
availed, the name of Elizabeth Collamer would not now be
umbered with the departed. In her spirit there was a
combination of the pure and frank simplicity of childhood,
with the accomplishments of cultivated womanhood, and
that deeper intuition which is seldom the lot of any but
matured years. In manner, gracious without familiarity,
and confiding without imprudence, she won all friendships
ithout awakening envy, preserved them only to increase
their strength. Reared in tenderness, she yet, appreciated
the blessings of life with a calm gratitude, which used, out
not abused them; and while she valued sublunary being, its
chiefest merit was, in her esteem, that it afforded an op
portunity for acts of daily goodness, and thanks to the Su
preme. A course thus blameloss and pure, had in death
its crowning reward, .throughout a sickness wnicn the
best medical skill was sought for in vain to avert, it was
marked with perpetual thanks all was resignation, all was
peace. And when the last hour arrived, when the dews of
death bathed the pale brow and fading eyes, a conquering
soul looked with guileless fortitude to the lust enemy; and
the final surrender of the meek and quiet spirit to its God,
was "even as a sleep, and pleasant as a dream," Life
vanished with a smile; and with an e,xpiratiqn soft as an
angel's whisper, and a glance beaming with immortal hope,
habitant of earth was borne to heaven.
1 Then, who can tell how wide and bright
The realm of glory opened round;
How thought and feeling flowed like light,
Through ranks of being without bound."
